The Amazing Spider-Man: Coming 6/26/2012

Harness Spider-Man's powers with Manhattan as your playground!


Perched atop this skyscraper, you can see the entire cityscape. Horns, sirens and other sounds of the hustle and bustle of the city can be heard from far below. As people go about their daily business, crime lurks in the shadows, waiting for the opportune moment to pounce. And that's why you're here — to fight back and keep the little guy safe. As you take in the scene, your spidey senses tingle. Without thinking, you leap off the edge and into the air. Halfway into your freefall, you send a stream of web shooting into the air, and it latches onto a building off in the distance. You're web-slinging your way into another day at the office.

In a thrilling story set just after the events of the upcoming movie, The Amazing Spider-Man invites you to suit up as the newly anointed web-slinging superhero as you continue the adventures of Peter Parker. Criminals lurk in all shapes and sizes all over — and under — Manhattan, and it's up to you to keep the city safe in this free-roaming adventure. Use the game's new Web Rush mechanic to perform cool new moves that were never before possible and use real-time navigational and combat choices to fight crime. Swing into battle against all-new versions of classic Spidey villains and original, larger-than-life enemies. Soar through the city on your trusty strands of web and execute spectacular — and signature — acrobatic moves and attacks to overpower the bad guys. Are your spidey senses tingling yet?
